“I was guided to this work after having reached out to different branches of the medical field. I was in a very dark place within myself. I felt weak, desperate and helpless. I was in a constant state of confusion. I was consumed by anxiety and fear. I had shut down. I was depressed. I feel blessed and eternally grateful for Lorraine, with her patience and compassion she has guided me back to inner strength and peace. I am now experiencing awareness and clarity with an open heart. I feel whole again. I have received physical and spiritual healing. I’m on the path to the recovery of my true self. Lorraine is a truly gifted therapist/healer/guide. The Program she created has allowed her patients to reach a level of well-being with which they can feel a newly found joy developing within themselves as they grow and evolve. It is a complete transformation!!”

“Lorraine’s greatest gift is her generous and compassionate heart. This is the most important factor in any mode of true and deep healing. It is my personal experience of her work, however, that compels me to endorse her. Two very important events in my life have occurred under her hands: opening the third eye and the awakening of the awesome power of Kundalini. What more could be said?”– Roy Lucianna, Tai Chi/Chi Kung Teacher
” I want to continue this work regularly because I am amazed and grateful for the changes I am feeling. I’m not even thinking them. I am Actually just feeling different. It’s like I am still me but my molecules rearranged. Thank you for your help and guidance. “- April Banach
“It has been a life altering honor to attend the retreat dedicated to growing toward my higher self and connecting to the divine spirit that surrounds all life. I am learning to open myself to acceptance and gratitude while unblocking my fearful self. A feeling of calmness is replacing my ever-present anxiousness. The comfort of the community of kindred souls during this intricate spiritual journey has been of monumental help. I am integrating many of the practical tools taught to us and feel more alive and at home in the world. This challenging process of transformational growth is fascinating. The retreats have complemented and intensified the individual and group work I have done with Lorraine. Feeling comfortable in a group is something new and amazing!“- Susanne Nowak
“I am not traditionally one to publicly share my feelings, but I find the need to tell the world about the incredible and enlightening experience I had at your Holistic Retreat in July. Being immersed in a healing environment, totally out of my normal orbit was enlightening andrelieving for me. I was able to feel like the self I had buried under obligations and routines. I knew life was becoming burdensome and I seemed to be having less fun as the yrs unfolded, but I had no idea how different I could feel & how to get started. I am amazed at the impact this one week retreat has had on my life, and am confidently on my way to a more relaxed, for-filling life, filled with fun!”– With much Love and Gratitude,Trish Rhoades
“Dear Lorraine i need you to know, I feel eternally thankful to you. I received more than i had hoped for. It was life changing for me… It felt a sense of surrender. My heart felt lighter and very open . I now feel emotionally stronger. It had a great impact on my being. I felt like i was looking @ the world with a different lens. I felt compassion and empathy for people i love and who i feel need the surrender and openness i was experiencing. I felt hope for them through me. I felt contagious!! I felt my true self, i had never felt before.
Now only a couple of weeks later and back to reality although the enlightenment has lessened in intensity, i continue to feel the openness,the imprint the healing left on my soul. This holistic program also left me with the need to continue on this healing path to unbind the heart and soul.”– Thank you, with love…Lorraine you are an Earth Angel!

“On the journey to know oneself in a deep and meaningful way, it is easy to be distracted by the roadblocks inherent in our everyday lives.
Lorraine Antine and the Holistic Recovery Retreat created a path toward self-discovery, a safe, nurturing environment to begin the journey from our shadows to our light.
During our time together, we began to peel away our excess layers, the masks we wear to hide our true selves. In such a time of vulnerability, Lorraine ensured our safety and our dignity. Only through the breaking down of barriers were we able to create new space for inner peace and joy.
As guide and mentor, Lorraine showed us how to be responsible to lift ourselves to a place of higher consciousness, and in the process, realize our greatest potential.
My heart has never felt so full as it did when surrounded by the love and support created by the women of our community. Our time together was truly a miracle. I am eternally grateful to Lorraine and the entire retreat community.”
– With love,
Rosemary Donnelly
How can I ever thank you for our time together at the retreat? Your efforts in creating our experience were herculean to say the least. It did not go unnoticed, and it is appreciated more than words can say.I received so much over the 5 days. The opening continues still. Every facet of the retreat was so thoughtfully crafted by you, and the safe environment we shared made deep work possible.
You are a treasure, a gift to me in every way. May the goodness you bring to us come back to you a million times more.
Much love, Rosemary
I feel the reflective effect is more of a seeping into my system rather than a rush. Also, being away from outside information was refreshing. I wish I could integrate both those realities more smoothly into my routines. I want to be able to fully actualize the the higher level of consciousness and omnipresent Godly spirit I felt. I am frustrated that it is not a simple experience for me although I do feel a deeper connectedness to everything. It is with anticipation and intense curiosity I await the next step on my new path.I am so grateful to be a part of this pilgrimage.”- Susanne Nowak
“When I started seeing Lorraine about one year ago, I was skeptical anyone could help me with the intense anxiety and depression I had, since I had been in extended therapy years ago. To my amazement, I have experienced transformations I never imagined. Early trauma has been healed and my visions of my self, my family, and the world are clearly fresh and new. I am experiencing a form a awareness that is enlivening my mind, rejuvenating my body and opening my soul. Everything feels so different in a short time.”– Susanne Long (age 58)
“Lorraine Antine is the most gifted therapist I have ever encountered. She took me with my rather serious trauma history that had not been amenable to deep healing, and gave me both hope and relief from suffering. Of the possible treatment modalities of which I am aware, Lorraine seemlessly flows toward the ones best suited for my healing and I have experienced recovery in areas that I had no idea were shut down and deadened. I am blessed to know her, and I recommend her with great enthusiasm.”- Lynne Feldman, Attorney/Teacher
“Working with Lorraine helped me obtain insights and move through blocks that were not realized in conventional therapy.”– Linda, LCSW
I have participated in family constellations for a while and have had powerful, meaningful experiences. However,I have grappled with doubt and skepticism about the nature of the experience. Recently, I became convinced of the validity of the spiritually energetic quality of the constellation.After an intense portrayal of my mother’s decades old estrangement from her sister that incorporated many generations of ancestors, my mother made a demonstrable change in her behavior.She allowed communication and contact with her sister and invited me to join in a reunion. I am gratefully amazed at this outcome and credit the constellation for the growth in the energy of my family.My mother’s soul was clearly touched and altered. ( And so was mine). – Susanne Nowak
“I repeatedly tried, and gave up, on finding a cure for Bulimia, which caused overwhelming shame and dread since age 13. I can now say with conviction that I respect myself. Since seeing Lorraine, I have received complete healing of this eating disorder.”– Massage Therapist
